Seeing that Jiang Yao got into the mood so quickly and had to hold a staff meeting, Zha Liguo said to her in a low voice: "Miss Jiang, you go ahead and I'll report back to the company."
"Okay." Jiang Yao walked Editor Cha to the door, watched him enter the elevator, and then turned back to the magazine.
The five minutes are up quickly.
Jiang Yao casually pulled up a chair and sat down in front of everyone. Just as she was about to speak, Liang Xue stood up from her seat and walked to her, saying in a cold tone: "I'm sorry, Miss Jiang, I want to resign."
Jiang Yao glanced at her calmly: "Reason?"
Liang Xue raised her chin with a condescending expression: "With all due respect, I have been working in this industry for more than ten years and I have never heard of your name, Miss Jiang. This means that you have no experience in the magazine industry at all. You don't know anything." A new person will lead GA, haha, it’s not hard to imagine what GA’s future will be like.”
"Also, Miss Jiang, you are free to buy tickets for a magazine, but I will not accompany you."
Liang Xue is already in her forties, and her self-esteem and pride will not allow her to work under a young girl.
Jiang Yao sat calmly, tapping her fingers on the table and did not respond to her immediately.
Liang Xue's two senior editors couldn't sit still and also stood up and said: "I'm sorry, Miss Jiang, we also plan to resign."
Editors are the core of a magazine. If all the editors are gone, the magazine's content will be left open and waiting to be discontinued.
Jiang Yao looked around the workstations and saw that there were only five people left in the entire GA. Three of the five people are new editors who have just been in the industry for two or three years. One is a planner, and the other is an administrator serving tea and purchasing office supplies.
Everyone in the workplace knows what it means when the core team resigns just after taking over. But Jiang Yao looked calm and relaxed, with an unpredictable smile on her lips: "Is there anyone else who wants to resign with Editor Liang?"
The scene fell into silence for a moment, and everyone couldn't help but look at Liang Xue.
What does it mean to resign with her? Liang Xue glared at Jiang Yao angrily:
"What do you mean by asking everyone this? Could it be that you are insinuating that I deliberately instigated everyone to resign? You have also seen that before today, I did not know that the magazine had changed owners, and my resignation was a decision I just made. You don't want to be here Continuing to work can only mean that GA has no future, and Miss Jiang is a complete layman, so you should be lucky."
As soon as these words came out, the remaining five people suddenly lost their morale.
The future of the company is uncertain, and with the addition of a boss who looks like a vase, the future of the company can be imagined. The remaining people looked at each other, and were somewhat ready to leave.
Jiang Yao's expression remained unchanged, her eyes swept over several people indifferently, and finally stopped on Liang Xue:
"I read the company's financial report before taking over GA. Under the leadership of Chief Editor Liang, GA suffered losses for three consecutive years and never even negotiated an advertising sponsorship. Does this mean that Chief Editor Liang's level is worse than that of a layman like me? "
"You!" Liang Xue didn't expect her to be so sharp-tongued. She wanted to leave with her team today and give her a blow, but instead she exposed her shortcomings in public.
However, Liang Xue calmed down quickly and held her head up proudly: "So what if you can talk again? Without senior editors like us sitting in GA, how many days do you think the magazine can last? We will have to open the skylight next month!"
Jiang Yao raised her eyebrows and retorted directly: "Without anyone, the earth will still rotate. Chief Editor Liang should worry more about himself. His professional skills are so poor and he is so old. He even brought two procrastinators with him to find another job. I don’t know which charity would be willing to take you in.”
"You!" Liang Xue was choked again and her face turned red.
The two senior editors who were accompanying her and were about to resign together also looked ugly.
Instead, those who were hesitant to resign just now calmed down.
These people are all new editors. They usually do the work in the magazine. Liang Xue and the others are responsible for finding faults with them. They have not done any work at all. With that kind of professional level, what future can these people have after leaving GA? ?
Why did they resign with Liang Xue in a hurry? Staying in GA honestly has a better future than following Liang Xue!
After thinking about it, everyone stood silently away from Liang Xue.
The scene fell silent again.
Jiang Yao had a panoramic view of the expressions and movements of several people.
It seemed that she was not planning to resign. She looked at Liang Xue and the others slowly: "In that case, you can leave now. The contract clearly stated that this month's employee wages will be settled by Maxis Group, so you can go find them yourself. Let the financial department of Xunxun settle the matter."
Jiang Yao had learned before coming that there were a total of six editors in the magazine. Except for the three who resigned, the rest were all graduates of architecture departments from well-known foreign universities. They had the right majors and good writing skills. They were rare talents.
If Liang Xue and the others hadn't entered the industry earlier, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to take the positions of editor-in-chief and senior editor at all.
Now is the time to send away all those idle Buddhas.
After hearing her words, Liang Xue and the others started to pack the things on the table with dark faces.
He quickly left with a bunch of things in his arms.
Jiang Yao turned to look at the remaining five people: "Let's continue the meeting."
"Let me synchronize with you the next development direction of GA. First, GA magazine will undergo a comprehensive revision. It will transform from a more academic style to a fully commercial style, cut off the previous content of world-renowned architectural appreciation, and focus on the real estate industry. .”
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone looked shocked.
"Real estate industry? But the topic selection and content of this industry cannot support one issue of the magazine!"
"Yes, is it possible that we should pay attention to the rise and fall of house prices every day? The opening of real estate projects? Then what is the difference between us and those real estate agents?"
"Yes, Miss Jiang, we also graduated from the Department of Architecture after all. When we joined GA, we had a love for architecture and wanted to do some work that combined architecture and art."
"..."
Huh, art? Jiang Yao looked at the innocent and idealistic eyes of several people and couldn't bear to reveal the truth, but she was here to make money, not to sell feelings.
"Okay, I understand everyone's thoughts. First of all, wherever there are people, there is a need for houses to live in. The explosive growth of population in Hong Kong in the next ten years will require countless houses. Therefore, in the next few decades, the real estate industry will be an absolute hot spot, and it will be a hot spot for everyone. A hot topic that everyone is paying attention to.”
"When you create content, you have to make it hot. Haven't you woken up to the fact that you have been losing money for three consecutive years? The appreciation of world architecture is indeed high-end, but ordinary people will not pay attention to how the Louvre was built or how Notre Dame was repaired. They only care about how much money they earn and whether they can afford a house to live in!”
After finishing speaking, Jiang Yao paused, glanced at everyone briefly, and then continued:
"Secondly, there are so many links in a real estate project from planning, land acquisition, building construction, sales to move-in and decoration, and the topics that can be selected are very rich. Take home decoration as an example, just appreciating different residential decoration styles, there is a lot of content When it reaches the point where it can stand up as a magazine alone, and then embed various furniture and electrical appliance brands, it can even cover the sponsorship fees from advertisers.”
"As for your artistic pursuits," Jiang Yao curled her lips, "Can I use it as food when I'm hungry? Can I use it as a credit card when I go shopping in the mall?"
Every rhetorical question was shot to everyone's heart with precision like a sharp sword.
For a moment, the entire office was silent.
They had been arrogant for three years, but they were severely punished by reality. The monthly magazine sales were only a few hundred copies, and even half of them were purchased with the help of the school library.
Jiang Yao struck while the iron was hot and continued to announce: "Secondly, in addition to publishing magazines, we also need to plan and execute activities focusing on the real estate industry, such as organizing real estate industry forums or real estate opening planning, etc. Of course, this business line will be improved after the successful revision of the magazine. When execution begins, I will recruit a dedicated event team to follow up.”
With the previous content foreshadowing, and then hearing that she wanted to expand a business line dedicated to activities, everyone was able to accept it.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Jiang Yao added: "Finally, starting from next month, the salaries of all five of you will be increased by 50%. At the end of the year, each of you will receive three months' salary as a year-end bonus."
No one doesn't like money. When they heard this, everyone who had been silent just now suddenly had their eyes lit up and their eyebrows widened with smiles.
But after being happy, everyone immediately calmed down: "But there is no money in the magazine's account at all..."
Jiang Yao curled her lips: "Whether I have money or not is what I should worry about. Just work hard. By the way, at the end of this month, all editors will submit a market research report on the real estate industry to me. During the completion of the report, you don't have to Come to the company to work."
There is still half a month left before the end of the month. This task is not too urgent and everyone has no objections.
"Okay, I won't waste everyone's time." Jiang Yao stood up and planned to leave. She doesn't like long talks in meetings, and she doesn't have a boss addiction. She plans to leave as soon as she's done.
Little did they know that her decisiveness made everyone think her words were credible.
Seeing that she was leaving, everyone stood up one after another:
"Goodbye Miss Jiang!"
"Miss Jiang, walk slowly!"
Jiang Yao nodded to everyone, turned around and walked towards the door——
"Miss Jiang, wait a minute!"
Jiang Yao had just taken two steps when she was stopped by someone. When she came back, she saw her colleague who was doing administrative work.
She had read the magazine's information before taking over, and originally planned to eliminate the administrative position, but just now the other party did not resign with Liang Xue, and it was still clear, so she changed her mind.
"Is something wrong?" Jiang Yao asked.
"Ms. Jiang, they all have tasks. I'm not an editor. I've been doing administrative work. I wonder what I can help you with?"
The administrative colleague's name is Liao Mei. She has small and charming features. She wears a tight knitted sweater and a hip-hugging skirt. She has a pretty figure.
Jiang Yao indeed forgot to plan the work tasks for her, but with this kind of beauty, working in administration would be a waste. She smiled and said: "Are you interested in changing positions and becoming the account manager of our magazine?"
Liao Mei had never heard of this position before and asked curiously: "What does this position require me to do?"
Jiang Yao: "After our magazine is revised, many real estate developers or home furnishing brands will pay attention to us. They are our customers, and the account manager will be responsible for maintaining the relationship with them and letting them place advertisements in our magazine. Of course. When clients place advertisements, you can get a commission. If you do a good job, your salary will be ten times what you are now."
Oh my god, ten times? !
Liao Mei nodded immediately: "Miss Jiang, I am willing to transfer!"
She had long been tired of the unskilled work of serving tea and pouring water, so she might as well change her position and try her luck.
Jiang Yao said: "Okay, your task for the past half month is to visit all the places where rich people eat, drink and have fun in Xiangjiang. The key point is to pay attention to the places where the chairman of several large real estate companies like to go. The cost of visiting can be reimbursed. .”
Liao Mei blinked: "Okay, Miss Jiang, I promise to complete the task!"
After handling the magazine matters, Jiang Yao went directly back to the Repulse Bay Villa.
Chen Yanbei still didn't go home, but Jiang Yao's mentality had changed. When she got home, she went into the study and started writing a detailed plan for the magazine's revision.
When I came out of the study after writing, it was almost twelve o'clock in the evening.
Thinking of having to report to school tomorrow, Jiang Yao quickly went to the bathroom to wash up.
Singapore.
There is almost no time difference between Singapore and Hong Kong, and it is already early morning.
Huo Chenfeng rubbed his temples, stood up from the sofa and said to Chen Yanbei behind the desk: "Young master, I've been waiting for you so long that I fell asleep. Are you still working?"
"Almost." Chen Yanbei looked at the document in his hand, without even raising his head, and said two words coldly.
Huo Chenfeng held his forehead, thinking that Chen Yanbei was in a bad mood, so he came to the office to meet him for a drink at the bar. Little did he know that the eldest young master's way of relieving his depression was work!
